    hey everyone! ive had my car for almost two years and just started really getting into fixing it up. Its going slow considering I'm not working in the oil field anymore, got engaged, and have a baby on the way but I'm going to do a little here and there just wondering what i should do next? i put new performance spark plugs in, with racing wires. also added a thermostat, throttle body spacer, k&n intake, and in 3 days i will have my blower and supercharger back from Steigmeier's with a rebuilt supercharger and a nice port and polish. also just switched out my pulley and replaced wh a 3.4, and cut my cat out. Next thing i was looking at was Headers from SSautochrome. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanx

    swap your stock pulley back on before u blow it up... headers first. with mods said, its a time bomb waiting to go off.

    just do them both and get a tune at the same time. ported blower, 3.4'' pulley, and a tune and you should be good to go

    breathing= inhale/ exhale

    exhaust out ( the headers)
